Thread: Asphalt?

  1. #21
    Update to this, it was completed in November. Somewhere around 3500 sq ft, concrete, with a curb on the asshole neighbor side. The approach has to be asphalt per the city so that's coming in Spring. It's really fantastic! It's all pitched so everything drains straight to the back corner. No more dust, rocks, or mud.

    Wow... That's a lot of concrete!

    Do you mind if I ask what that set you back? and who did the work?

    I'm looking to get some concrete work done.

    Quality Minded Construction out of Waterford. They were the cheapest of any contractor and did great work. Even asphalt quotes were not much cheaper than their concrete work. It was 12.5k

    That's not bad considering. I would add a row of hedges from the start of your fence to the apron and you will be set! Turned out really nice. Oh and how come you didn't pitch the driveway towards a-hole neighbor? Let him have all your excess water haha

    Pro seal out of the falls. They quoted 1200. Everyone else was 2500-3500.

    I had ProSeal all come out and seal my driveway. I really like them. Professional and had a good price for a 200ft driveway.

    That is a TON of concrete for that money, I'd say you got a deal. Far better then asphalt, thats for sure

    Holly shit that's a lot of concrete !!!

    I know he was the cheapest but did the owner/foreman know what he was talking about ?

    It looks fantastic, visually Ive seen over priced concrete look worse then what you have, yours is really clean looking. Also looked to be clean guys in general ?

    All white dudes ? that's rare !!!

    We actually fixed his speedometer awhile back and found out what he did that way. Real down to earth, no lies or fabbed bs. Knowledgeable, he's been doing it for 20-30 years if I remember right.
